A Prolonged Trance.

Prolonged frances are frequently
heard OF in the present day, but rarely a
trance which is vouched for by medical
men to have lasted over three years, The
patient VIII fell into a lethargic condi-
ton at the end of May, 1883, is a young
woman belonging to a village in the De-
partment of the Aisnc, in France. At the
day she gave birth toSa child, which ex-
PRED an hour afterward, the mother be-
ing, on some grounds not stated, accused
Of having strangled it. The woman, in 0
weak state of health, was SO affected by
the visit of the officers of justice that she
had a severe neiyou attack, subsequently
to which she fell into the lethargic sleep,
from which no effort has, since then, sue.
eeeded in rousing her. Thus, for a per-
iod of three years she has been kept alive
by spoonfuls of broth, or milk, or wine,
administered with the utmost difficulty,
for her teeth remain tightly clenched.
The appearance of the unfortunate pa
ticnt is described as cadaverous; hc1
flesh is wasted away, the body being 50
emaciated that it seems impossibleash4tt
she can survive much longer. 1t retaapg'
however, its normal warmth; the limbs
are not rigid, and the breathing, though
faint, is regular. Doctors who have
watched this extraordinary case from the
outset believe that the patient hears what
is said around her, though she is absolu.
tely incapable of making a movement or
of uttcring a WORD. -BeDfast Witness.

a Remarked bic Weddina.

A very pretty incident was associated
With the early history of New London,
and may properly be brought in here.
y was related by Governor Winthrop
himself In 1879 in tcstifying concerning
she boundaries in n of the suits with
It's neighbors, which the litigious and
ambitious town was constantly maintain
ing. In 1645-47 Jonathan Rudd. a Say
brook colonist, was very DESTROYS to
marry his affianc.d bride. All had been
prepared for the ceremony, but a heavy
snow storm prevented the minister en-
gagged from coming. In this extremity
he applied to Winthrop. The latter.
while eager to aid the lovers, was not
legally empowered to oficiate in Con-
nectlcut jurisdiction, holding, as he did,
ss authority from Massachusetts,. He
solved the difficulty by proposing that
the bridal Company come to tBridc
Brook then called "sunkipaug," two
niles west Of Mantle Bay, and the limit
n the plantation. The proposition was
accepted and, besides the ice-coycred
brook, with the crisp snow cracking be-
heath their feet, and the bare branches
81 the trees intercepting non of the
leeplc rays of the winter sun, was per-
lotincd q marriage rite unparalleled in
rsmanccs, and yet vouched for in history.

Prof. Kisch has recently collected
statistics of the. frequency of sudden
death amongst extremely stout persons.
In nineteen cases of this occurrence,
acute congestion Of the lungs was dis
covered in twelve, cerebral hemorrhage
in six, and rupture of the heart in one.
The apoplectic symptoms were traced, IN
most Of the cases, to a~rterial sclerosis, q
very frequent c~onconitant Of extreme
corpulency. Rupture of the hearth is due
to the overworking Of the walls Of the
left verticle, which, being involved in
the fatty infltration and degeneration,
can no longer increase in sizs in proper
ton to the extra work it has to perform.
The failure Of heart-poWcr appears
always to be the immediate cause Of
death, which generally follows immedi-
ately after violent exertion, or excess IN

of obligation in the Catholic Church, and
the hearing of mass on thai day was as
obligatory as on Sunday. At the third
Plenary Council of Baltimore, few years
ago, this feast, as well as the Epiphany and
the Feast of Corpus Christi. was taken
from the list of holy days of obligation and
made a day of devotional observance only
The reason for this change was that, as
many persons could not easily. or did not,
attend mass on these days, either on ac-
count of the nature of their employment,
or through carelessness, and were frequent
ly guilty of the sin OF missing mass in con-

circumstances to make the change.
